Dear steering commitee members, On behalf of the Debian project and more specifically its developers in charge of packaging the GNU libc for our operating systems, I would like to draw your attention to an apparent contradiction between the stated support provided for your software and the way certain bug reports are being handled.
Today's example (from a list that I personally refuse to believe is not growing on a nearly daily basis) is the ARM architecture. ARM is listed on http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ports.html as a supported architecture, yet in the following bug report affecting ARM, it is referred to as "embedded crap" with no apparent intent to fix the bug: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5070 The Debian project is very keen on supporting crap and has been in fact integrating crap for more than 13 years now. Embedded crap is therefore a natural target for our extended love and care and we would be terribly sad to see it go from your official support. Kind regards, -- Sam Hocevar Debian Project Leader -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
